Apple reduces iPhone performance with an old battery

Apple tried to fix the problem with spontaneous shutdown of your iPhone 6s.

The creators of the performance test Geekbench confirmed the fears of users that Apple reduces the performance of the iPhone with the old battery. This was written by the founder of Primate Labs, John Poole blog.

The developer has tested the performance of the iPhone 6s processor on different versions of iOS. It turned out that smartphones on iOS 10.2.1 and 11.2 noticeable lose in performance devices at older versions of the firmware.

“The difference between 10.2.0 and 10.2.1 are too big to be a simple function of power management. I believe that Apple have introduced changes that limit performance when the battery status decreases to a certain point,” writes Poole.

The explanation for such a solution may be that Apple was trying to correct a problem with spontaneous shutdown of your iPhone 6s. Due to uneven supply a smartphone with a worn out battery just switched off as load increases. Apple just lowered the clock speed of the chips to prevent this.

For the first time on the issue drew the attention of a Reddit user under the nickname TeckFire in early December. According to him, when the wear of the battery of its iPhone 6s accounted for 20 percent, this greatly affected the speed of the device. He suggested that the system artificially lowers maximum clock speed of the processor.
